West Ham carried too many passengers in their 4-1 home defeat to Swansea on Saturday, according to manager Slaven Bilic. The Hammers were comprehensively defeated in the penultimate match to be played at Upton Park before the clubs move to the Olympic Stadium. Wayne Routledge, Andre Ayew, Ki Sung-yueng and Bafetimbi Gomis all netted for Swansea, with Stephen Kingsleys own goal the only reply West Ham could muster. The defeat also brought West Hams 15-match unbeaten home record to an end - a run that stretched back to August - and Bilic feels his side can have few complaints about the result. They were better and they deserved to win. What went wrong? In the most basic situations we were second best, we had too many passengers, we were slow in the reaction and losing the ball in dangerous situations, he said. Andre Ayew netted in Swanseas comprehensive victory at Upton Park We had too many passengers, we were second best and relying on other people to stop them. We were not compact without the ball, we were not good on second balls.When we had the ball, we were good, we put them under pressure, we were creating and we were passing the ball. Okay, we didnt have the final product, but we were good. The defensive transition is the key and the biggest reason that we lost the game. Bilic added: When they scored, it was a little bit of shock for us and then we tried to react, but they scored another one.In the second-half, you can turn it around, weve done it a couple of times this season and it is quite common in the Premier League. But it depends if you are going to score the first one or they are going to score the third one. They scored the third one and it was not all over, but they basically put it to bed. West Ham will play their final ever match at Upton Park on Tuesday night when they take on Manchester United, live on Sky Sports 1 HD.When asked about that game, Bilic said: It should be a very memorable night, but we have to be better than today, definitely.

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St.Infamous Boston mobster James Whitey Bulger is headed to prison, but wants to keep his most prized possession - a Montreal Canadiens 1986 Stanley Cup ring. The Boston Globe reports that Bulger, 83, has waived his right for a jurys decision on whether he can keep his guns, artwork, jewels and cash, but has stated in a court filing that he will put up a fight to retain the memento commemorating the Canadiens 23rd Stanley Cup victory. "The parties have agreed to exclude a Stanley Cup ring, which the defendant contends was a gift to him by a third-party," said the document. Guilty verdicts on Bulger were handed down on Monday for the murder of 11 people and numerous other criminal offences. Bulger was a model for Jack Nicholsons crime boss character in Martin Scorseses Oscar-winning movie The Departed. The Globe added that Bulger, 83, likely acquired the ring through connections to former Canadiens winger Chris Nilan. According to the paper, Nilan was once married to Karen Stanley, daughter of Mr. Bulgers late girlfriend Teresa Stanley and Bulger paid for the couples wedding. Nilan, who works for TSN Radio 690 in Montreal, released the following statement on Tuesday regarding the ring: "Recent media reports have iinaccurately asserted that James Bulger is in possession of a 1986 Stanley Cup ring given to him by me.dddddddddddd Those reports have no basis in fact. James Bulger was never given a Stanley Cup ring by me at any time. I won a Stanley Cup ring as a member of the 1985-86 Montreal Canadiens. I gave that ring to my father, Henry Nilan. I am currently in possession of that ring as it is being resized as a gift to my son, Christopher. In 1988, Montreal Canadiens general manager Serge Savard heard that I had given my original ring to my Dad and Serge generously presented me with a second Stanley Cup ring which I wear to this day. I commissioned a jeweller here in Montreal to make three womens Stanley Cup rings for my mother, my former wife and my late mother-in-law, Teresa Stanley. My former wife and my mother remain in possession of their rings. Mrs. Stanley wore her ring in her casket and before her burial, at Mrs. Stanleys prior request, that ring was given to my daughter. At no time, to my knowledge, did I or any member of my family give James Bulger a Stanley Cup ring. I have no idea where any ring in Mr. Bulgers possession was made and I hope that this statement provides absolute clarification in this matter." ' ' '
